I see many errors such as
symbol lookup error: 
/usr/local/build/libunistring-0.9.9_4.15.12-genunix_ppc64.001/tests/.libs/lt-test-uc-grapheme-breaks:
 undefined symbol: uc_grapheme_breaks

which indicate that an earlier version of GNU libunistring is already installed
at the target location.

On some systems (don't remember whether it was AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, or similar)
it is necessary to do first "make install" before going on to do "make check".
I'm a bit surprised to hear that this is also the case with a glibc system.
Either you have set some particular environment settings (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH),
or there is a glibc bug (which glibc version are you using?).
